Traditionally, party leaders usually invite their spouse or partner onto the stage at the end of the conference as they make their closing speech. Both David Cameron and Theresa May have historically invited their spouses onto the stage.
Mrs May’s husband Philip, and Mr Cameron’s wife Samantha, both joined their spouses on the stage in recent years.
However, Ms Symonds took a more subtle approach and decided to break tradition by remaining in the audience with Mr Johnson’s father, Stanley Johnson.
The subtle move could be due to the fact that the Prime Minister is currently going through a divorce from his second wife, Marina Wheeler.
Ms Wheeler and Mr Johnson have four children together and announced their split in September 2018.
Ms Symonds, who is the former head of communications for the Conservative Party, applauded his speech from the crowd.
Although she remained in the audience, Ms Symonds decided to make a splash with her outfit.
Rather than wearing the Tory party colour blue, she opted to wear a bright fuchsia dress with a high neck and buttons down the front.
After his speech, she then joined the Prime Minister as he walked off the stage and greeted members of the crowd.

He described Parliament as a “pebble in the shoe” of the nation.
He said: “If it was a school it would have been shut down by Ofsted.”
The Prime Minister also said that he will not ask Brussels for a Brexit extension.
He said Brussels must choose between his “compromise” plan and a no deal.
He continued: “What Leavers want, what Remainers want, what the whole world wants – is to be calmly and sensibly done with the subject, and to move on.”
“And that is why we are coming out of the EU on October 31, come what may.
“Whatever happens we must come out by the end of October.”
However, Mr Johnson risks infuriating MPs by planning to ask the Queen to prorogue parliament for a second time next week.
The Prime Minister will request that the Queen suspends Parliament for three days to resume his plan to hold a Queen’s Speech and begin a new parliamentary session.
The news comes after Mr Johnson saw his plans to keep Parliament shut until October 14 derailed as the Supreme Court ruled his decision to prorogue the parliamentary session was illegal.
The Prime Minister seems unfazed by the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling, and he still intends to press on with his Brexit agenda.
